South-East Clare Roads "In Chaos" Over HGVs Striking Rural Bridge - News % Clare FM

It’s claimed South-East Clare communities have been left in chaos over heavy-goods vehicles attempting to avoid an impassable bridge.

It’s understood a lack of warning signage on the main road from Sixmilebridge to Cratloe is allowing artic lorries and coaches to reach Poulawilly Bridge, which has a height restriction of 11.6m.

The issue is leaving large lines of traffic with no option to reverse back up the R462, causing major delays.

Cathaoirleach of the Shannon Municipal District and Sixmilebridge Fine Gael Councillor John Crowe says a recent incident crystallised the problem.
